Mayor Keith Wilson's office took jabs at city councilors and an influential Trail Blazers fan Tuesday, when he resorted to name-calling and half-truths in a newsletter about the upcoming Moda Center lease deal. Rather than name the creator of a website called Rip City Not Rip Off, Wilson referred to him as an “opportunist” and a “Brooklyn-based techbro."⁠ ⁠ The mayor also claimed the website's creator, who's researched similar NBA arena deals, tried to coax the mayor into using a specific term sheet for the Moda Center lease, by promising to "deliver 10 city council votes" if the mayor agreed. A copy of the email sent to Wilson's office shows a much different conversation.⁠ ⁠ ✍️ Courtney Vaughn⁠ 🔗 Full story at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #portland #pdx #trailblazers #modacenter
